Registered Staff Hours
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's best category grade came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Long-term care grades focus on a nursing home's assistance with daily living instead of the skilled nursing or medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is better than most nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this facility's more favorable category scores was in the category of short-term care. This wound up being its second most favorable category. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. With our short-term care score, we try to forge a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-, which is a decent grade. Our nursing rating assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of those nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Facility Inspections
Turning the final area of inspections, we gave this facility a C for this category. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This facility had 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories G through L. This tells you this facility dodged the more serious classes of deficiencies. We didn't find anything on this nursing home's inspection report to be too alarming.
